no Danger Feared from the Alesia-Ap-
~prehensIons for h Spring.
CHICAGO, September 24.-In speaking
Of the Asiatic cholera in quarantine at
New York, Health Commissioner DeWolf
said last night: ''This Information is very
interesting to US, if read Alright. but We do
not need to be alarmed about any immedl-
ate danger in this country. The great
danger is not from such cases. The cloth
ing, freight and all the effects of this Ves-
sci, as well as all persons on board, will
be thoroughly disinfected. There will
not be the least possibility of any cases
arising from it. Where l fesr
trouble is from the following source.
The summer clothing which may be
packed in the infected districts in Europe,
may be sent over to this country in a ship
chat would have no case of cholera aboard
20 cause any attention to be paid. After
disinCecting they are left until spring, and
then opened. In q short time the whole
country is alarmed with new cases of
cholera, arising, apparently, without
cause.
In 1873 there were three cases of this
kind, where the clothing that had been
packed in the fall in the old country was
opened here. There can be no effects Of
this epidemic in Chicago this fall. 1t is
too late in the season. Cholera germs
cannot have any result in cold weather.
Yes, | really have some fears for next
spc1ng, not particularly for this city, but
fol the whole country at large.

Anthracite Coal Miners Present an In
broken Front.
SEVENTEEN THOUSAND MEN OUT.

PITTsBURG, September 24.-Mr. IL. II,
Carlton, OF the General Executive Board of
the Knights OF Labor, who was in the city
a-day arranging \ conrereuoe Ia ulscuss
the wages of the coke workers, is one of
the two members Of the Board delegated to
look after the big strike Of the coal miners
in the anthracite region. When asked this
afternoon about the status OF the strike, he
said: 81 have Just come from the anthra-
cite regions. The men who are still on a
strike ere all united and are confident OF
ultimately winning. The men who are
still at work have been practically granted
an advance in wages of s per cent. This
advance is conditional, that is, ii the men
who are still on a strike win, then the adj
vance will continue; but if not, then the
lines of settlement will apply also TO those
now at work. There are now between
l. 1000 and Is. 600 men out OH a strike.
The number at work at the advance are
between $4,000 aud 10000. These men
have been assessed 5 per cent. OF their
wages To support those who are still out.
In referring to the General Assembly Of
the Knights Of Labor, which commences
at Minneapolis on October 3, MIR. Carlton
said that the members of the general ex-
ecuiive board, including Mr.. Powderly,
would leave Philadelphia in a body the
latter part of next week. As things look

THE CHOLERA SHIP.
Alssia's Sick 1t the Swinburne Island
Hospital.
THREE UNPORTUNATES WILL DIE.

NEW YORK, September 24.-The Alesi;
is anchored in the Lower Bay near the
Quarantine Island. The sick are in thu
Swinburne Island Hospital, where they
were taken on the vessels arrival. Three
of the cases, those Of Cormelia Carclier and
Guglieluo Helwig and his fOur-year-ol old
child, will probably prove fatal. The
Others have more or less chances Of re-
coyery.
The balance of the passengers
and crew with the exception Of
the three cabin passengers, num-
bering 551 are under supervision, on
Hoffman's Island, at the expense Of the
steamship company. Should no new cases
occur, the quarantine will be raised in
eight or ten days. The cabin passengers
remain on the vessel. The latter is being
thoroughly cleansed and fumigated and by
next Wednesday persons will probably De
allowed to board her. Health Officer Smith
says that the disease was carried on board
the ship by one or more Of the passengers,
and that the germs had not been in the
cargo, which was securely sealed. The
person evidently came on board at Naples,
as for four or FIVE weeks cholera has been
raging near that city.
The baggage of the passengers, number
lug 1900 pieces, is being unpacked and
fumigated. The health authorities say
that the present cool weather will aid
greatly in stamping out the pest. The
danger is lessened, also, because prepare
tons had already been made for the sup
preston of cholera, which Was due TO this
country this year.

PHILADELPHIA, September 23.-There
will be about go delegates to the coming
General Assembly OF the Knights Of Labor
at Minneapolis, October 3. General Mas
ter Workman Powderly said to-day that
he could not tell what the general ont
come of the convention would be, and
added:
1t will he q compact body, and what Is Q
fact of Importance, it will represent a paid
nm constituency, q bona fide membership
of over 500, 900 wage workers. There will
be no change as regards the secrecy of the
order. AS il is now, we only use secrecy
for certain details of our business,
There ia q general mistake in re
gard to the secrecy and formali'
ties of the order. The advocating Of g
Department of Labor will be q strong
point. This convention will be a eonsti'
tutional assembly, and the constitution
can be amended as provided. do moi
think there will be any change in thu
temperance features. They have stood
for q long while. l will say that a liquor
seller can never become q member.
Mr.. Powderly said that several matter
Of internal policy would be largely dis
cussed in his address, but that the Distric'
Assembly 126 affair would not be touched
In regard 10 the reiterated reports that n
would resign at Minneapolis, Mr.. Powder
" said that the matter had been from mrs

A British Man.of-War Sent to Intimldate

NEW YORK, September 24.-The sailing
of the English man-of-wa Pylades from
Trinidad to Laguayra, to demand indem.
nifty from the Government of Venezuela
for the detention of the schoOners jose
phene and Henriette, would seem to point
to an active policy on the part Of Great
Britain in her dispute with the South
American Republic.

Venezuela in this city, to-day said: 1.-THE
two schooners mentioned have been de-
tanned for noncompliance with the Gus
toms regulations, and they were seized
lust as a vessel which did not comply with
the regulations of this Government might
have been taken. In my opinion it is
merely an attempt of the Tory Ministry in
England to initiate Mr.. Gladstone's Egyp-
tian war. They have got themselves into
so much trouble in Ireland that they hope
to cover it up by a vigorous policy in Ven
ezuela.

the United States. The question has been
before our State Department for some
time, aud it il really a serious one. The
territory which England has assumed con-
troll of is larger than British Guiana, and
it is territory which Lord Granville has
acknowledged belonged to Venesuela.
They have taken the Island of Barima,
which is at the mouth of the Orinoco, and
they permit the entrance of goods from
English colonies free of duty. They levy
taxes upon the people and act in all mat
tiers as the rulers 0 fthe country.
1.-The real gist of this matter is the con-
troll of the Orinoco river. Its control means
an enormous influence upon the South
American Republics, and an influence such
as the United States should have cause to
dislike exceedingly. As far as war goes,
the English could, of course. blockade the
Venezuelan ports if the United States
would allow them to do so. If they at
tempted to invade the country it is prob
able that their troops would die of like
sheep in the fevers of the coast line, the
Terra Caliente. However, before the mat
ter got to that point, ! suppose the United
States would interfere

cial from San Antonio, Tex, says: A posse
was sent out from United States Marshal's
office to the Rio Grande City, aiew days
ago to capture a gang of smugglers, who
were encamped about fifty miles from
Laredo. They found the camp in brush
near the river, and a demand for surrender
was answered by a yolley from Winches-
ters. A battle ensued resulting in the
death of four of he smugglers and the
capture of the camp and a number OF
horses. The living smugglers escaped by
stampeding the horses and following
through the gap in the line, taking refuge
on the Mexican side. None Of the officers
were hurt.

ners, under indictment for murder, at
tackled him. The first one knocked him
down. When he attempted to get up he
was felled with q bed slat by the second.
This stunned him so that before he recov-
cred the Brenners, Wilburn Rose and Dick
Dickerson made their escape. Recovering
consciousness, Ferguson started after them
and firing, struck Dickerson in the back,
badly wounding him. He was taken back
to Jail, but the other four escaped. At
once Sheriff Bowman and q posse of forty
men started in hot pursuit, but the fugi-
tiyes managed to evade them and made
good their escape.
Last night the posse returned, having

One Hundred Gases Hear To-day by
Chicago Judges.
CHICAGO, September 24.-To-day is di-
vorce day par excellence in the courts, as
there are nearly if not quite one hundred
default cases being heard by five judges.
Two of them, Judges Shepard and jamie
son, began work at nine o'clock this
morning.
This is the largest number of divorce
cases ever set for hearing in one day in this
city, and shows that the reputation Of Chi
cago as a divorce headquarters is by no
means falling of.
The cause of this number is owing part
" to the material growth Of population
and partly, also, to the fact that this year
the Judges kept their vacation religiously
and declined to hear any but urgent mat
tiers. Judge Collins appears to be the
most popular, as he has ~thirty-one cases on
his calendar; Judge Horton comes next
with twenty; Judge Shepard has seven
teen; Judge Garrett sixteen, and Judge
Jameson is at the rear with only eight

said this morning that he had given or
ders for three days provisions to be sent
to Hoffman Ond Swinburne Islands, where
the passengers OF the Alesia, which brought
cholera to this country, are being kept.
Mr.. Ter Kuile vas OF the opinion that
the passengers would have to be quaran-
tined for eight or ten days and that after
that time there need be no fear of further
infection.
Mr.. Ter Kuile places great confidence in
the ability of DR.. Smith and the qnaran-
tine officials to prevent the spread of the
scourge. He said that he passengers
baggage would have to be very thoroughly
f~umigated, as considerable danger would
have to be feared from that source.

day that there was nothing more to say
about the excess in the Thistle water-line
measurement. Why" said he, 1.-THE
ballast could have been thrown out before
she was measured, and she could have been
reballasted, then we could have called fol-
another measurement after the race, but
we desired to he fair in every respect. We
have her as nearly as possible in the condi'
ton in which she sailed on the other side.
She has more ballast than on the way over,
because we displaced some to make room
for the extra stores required for the voy-
age. These is really no trouble about the
matter whatever"
